"You are the thief king in Xu Qiucheng's mouth, eyeing him, right?"

I stared at Lin Mu and asked.

"Please read the word Wang and the word bar separately."

Lin Mu shrugged his shoulders again and took off the black hood he was wearing.

Danfeng eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and a stubble on his chin, looking a little ruffian.

"It's suffocating me......

Little Brother Jiang, I see that your clothes also sneaked in, right?

So, since we're all stuck on this spiral ladder, let's be honest.

I came in through the gate of the castle, and I was chased all the way to the depths of the castle, and I entered this spiral staircase, and I turned a bell on this spiral staircase, and then I met you. ”

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he stared straight at me, of course I knew what he was waiting for, and I didn't think much about it, and told me how I entered the spiral staircase.

Of course, I didn't say what I was trying to do, but I described how I got into the spiral staircase.

It's just that before I finished speaking, Lin Mu frowned tightly.

"Little Brother Jiang, you said you entered the ancient castle after I was exposed?"

"That's right, when I approached the castle, the security in the manor had already gathered in front of the castle, probably because of your exposure."

I replied simply, and Lin Mu nodded.

"Little Brother Jiang, you also said that you followed a woman in this ancient castle, and after entering this rotating staircase, you kept going up until you found that something was wrong with the woman, and then you went down?"

"yes, is there anything wrong?"

I was puzzled, and Lin Mu didn't answer me directly, but wrapped one hand around his chest and one hand curled his beard.

It wasn't until he was silent for a moment that he looked at me again, and stared straight into my eyes.

"Little Brother Jiang, are you here because of Xu Qiucheng?

Don't worry, I won't ask you for the purpose of looking for Xu Qiucheng, you just need to tell me if you are here because of Xu Qiucheng, so I can make sure that we are not people on the same boat. ”

I listened, and I didn't understand why Lin Mu asked this, but I also nodded.

"That's fine."

Lin Mu also nodded.

"Since it's a person on the same boat, I'll make it clear, this Xu Qiucheng really has some Taoism."

"What do you mean?"

I don't understand.

"What else does that mean?"

Lin Mu stretched out his hand and pointed up and down the spiral staircase where we were.

"This revolving staircase must be Xu Qiucheng's masterpiece, and little brother Jiang, if I tell you that I have been walking down this revolving staircase since I entered the bottom of the ancient castle, will you believe it or not?"

As I listened, my eyes widened.

"You've been going down? How can it be? ”

Yes, how could Lin Mu keep going down?

He was more advanced than me, the revolving staircase, and he entered from the bottom of the castle, that is to say, the castle still has underground space, and this revolving staircase is not only the staircase of the castle, but also connects to the underground space of the castle.

And as soon as he entered the spiral staircase, he was descending into the underground space of the ancient castle.

And I entered this spiral staircase from the second level of the castle a while after him.

And after I entered the spiral staircase, I kept going up until the rose made a strange move, so how could this Lin Mu appear above me?

Oh, yes!

He went down the spiral staircase from the bottom of the castle for a while, and then he went all the way down, so his location at this time should be deep underground.

And after me for a while, I entered the spiral staircase from the second floor of the ancient castle, and then went down after a while, my position at this time should be near the bottom of the ancient castle, but why did Lin Mu appear from above me?

I'm ...... at this point Where the hell is the fuck?

The bottom of the castle, or the depths of the underground space beneath the castle?

But even if I'm deep in the underground space, Lin Mu shouldn't appear above me......

It's completely wrong, nothing is right, what the hell is this rotating staircase...... Wait a minute!

Haunted Place......

The yin qi emanating from the ancient castle, and the faint whimpering sound from under the ancient castle......

"Lin Mu ......"

I stared straight into Lin Mu's eyes.

"You're supposed to be an Inhuman, right?"

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked me up and down, and nodded.

"So, Xu Qiucheng is also a stranger?"

I asked again, and Lin Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Little Brother Jiang, you don't even know that Xu Qiucheng is a stranger, and you dare to break into this ancient castle?

You're so cute~~"

I listened, making sure what was in my mind.

Since this Xu Qiucheng is an alien, the reason why this rotating staircase is wrong is probably related to Xu Qiucheng.

And I have encountered similar situations twice before, once in the Yin Banner Room of the Dojo, and once on the path to where Chu Xun is.

The shaded banner room may be a trick, and the path must be a ghost.

Ghosts cover their eyes and can confuse reality, so will the revolving ladder we are in now also because of ghost blinding?

Without hesitation, after thinking of this, I wanted to bite my finger and smear the blood on my eyelids, however, before I put my finger to my mouth, Lin Mu opened his mouth again.

"Little Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?"

"I wonder if we've been blinded by ghosts."

I replied simply, but Lin Mu grinned again.

"Little Brother Jiang, you clearly have yin qi in your body, don't tell me that you are not an alien.

The tricks of ghosts covering their eyes can only deal with ordinary people, as long as it is a stranger, who will be tricked?

This rotating staircase is obviously not a ghost covering his eyes, but Xu Qiucheng's method. ”

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I hurriedly asked Lin Mu what method Xu Qiucheng had.

"I don't know, but it should be a formation."

Lin Mu replied and pointed to the bottom of the spiral staircase.

"Why don't we go again?"

I nodded and stood up, choosing to believe Lin Mu.

It's very simple, I'm not sure otherwise, since this Lin Mu is wanted by Xu Qiucheng, it means that he is Xu Qiucheng's enemy.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, besides, this Lin Mu is an alien, and he also knows that Xu Qiucheng is a stranger, based on this alone, I can conclude that this Lin Mu sneaked into the ancient castle definitely not to steal things, and he is definitely not as simple as a thief.

And since he and I have similar goals, it is far better to help each other in such a situation than to grope alone.

Not to mention, I can only be regarded as half an alien, and I don't know anything about aliens at all, and this Lin Mu said that this rotating ladder is Xu Qiucheng's formation, at least it can show that he knows Xu Qiucheng as an alien better than me.

In this way, I walked up and down the dark revolving staircase with Lin Mu, circle after circle, until another ten minutes passed, and Lin Mu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop me.

My heart moved, and I quickly looked down at the spiral staircase, only to see that just below us, a few steps away, there seemed to be something under the wall.

Yes, it was a small thing, and only a dark shadow could be seen in the darkness, but the spiral staircase was empty, so that the most inconspicuous thing was enough to make us walk cautiously.

After stabilizing for a moment, the black shadow did not make the slightest movement, and then Lin Mu withdrew the hand that was holding me, and I also lowered my pace with him and walked over.

Step by step, until the dark shadow against the wall in my vision gradually became clear, I glared and gasped, and the hairs on my body stood on end.

Because this black shadow against the wall turned out to be a shoe! It was before I left the shoes on the spinning staircase!

Yes!

In order to verify whether I was spinning on the revolving staircase, I put one of my own shoes under the stone wall in the revolving staircase at that time!

I was shocked in my heart, and Lin Mu glanced at my shoes, and then at my bare foot.

"It's ...... Your shoes? ”

I nodded, Lin Mu instantly took a few steps back, distanced himself from me, seeing this, I quickly explained, and told Lin Mu all about my previous shoes and intentions.

"...... so"

Lin Mu brushed the stubble on his chin.

"It seems that Xu Qiucheng's method is really doing the trick......"

I listened, nodding my head in the same way.

Obviously, we kept walking down, and we actually came across the shoes I had placed on the spiral staircase...... Wait a minute!

My heart moved, and I glared at Lin Mu.

"Lin Mu, this rotating staircase, will it be a circle that is completely connected from end to end, we are walking on the circle, so we can't go out."

Yes!

Although this shoe only appeared after we went down for more than ten minutes, it didn't mean that it was necessarily Xu Qiucheng's method of doing the trick.

And all this can be explained if one condition is met.

That condition, like I said, is a circle that is connected from end to end!

As long as the spiral staircase is a circle, then we can't walk on it, of course, we can't get out.

And Lin Mu, although he entered the revolving staircase one step ahead of me, as long as the revolving staircase was a circle, it was reasonable that he would appear above me.

For example, the numbers one to one hundred represent one hundred steps, and the first of these hundred steps is connected to the hundredth, so whoever goes up the ladder will cycle between this one and one hundred.

And as long as you are fast enough, you can catch up with everyone on the ladder from this to 100.

Lin Mu is a stranger, and running on all fours must be his method, so he must be faster than me, and it is natural that he can catch me up and appear above me.

"Little Brother Jiang, if you say that, it is indeed possible.

It's just that it's not hard to connect the spiral ladder end to end, but it's not easy to keep us thinking we're going down. ”

Lin Mu stroked his beard and said, I frowned and nodded.

Yes, I thought of it too.

If it is a horizontal plane, the first step is connected to the last step end to end, and you will get a ring.

But this rotating ladder is clearly not a ring, but a spiral, so if we want to implement the end of the spiral to connect the end, there must be a part of the ladder that rises to connect the head and tail of the spiral, so we can't go all the way down.

"Unless there's a stretch of road, we're actually going up, and we think we're going down......"

As I spoke, I felt incredible, but Lin Mu raised his eyebrows as if he thought of something, and asked another sentence.

"Little Brother Jiang, after you entered this ancient castle, did you hear a whimper?"

"Yes."

I replied simply, Lin Mu nodded again.

"I heard it too, but at the time, I was being chased by the security guards in this manor, and I noticed that the security guards in this manor didn't hear it."

As I listened, my heart moved.

Because it suddenly occurred to me that when I was in the stone room, it seemed that only I heard the whimper, and neither Rose nor Xiao Li heard it.

"That voice, only Inhumans can hear?"

"No!"

Lin Mu glared.

"Even the voice of the ghost can be heard by ordinary people, and the reason why we can hear that whimpering sound and others can't hear it is because we are here for the first time......

"What do you mean?"

Of course I don't understand.

"Little Brother Jiang, before you are hypnotized, you will hear the hypnotist's prompts, but after you are hypnotized, you will not hear anything."

After Lin Mu finished replying, I couldn't help but gasp.

"Lin Mu, you mean, the whimpering sound is like 'hypnosis', everyone in this manor has been 'hypnotized', and we are coming in for the first time, so the sound we hear is the voice of this manor 'hypnotizing' us?"

"Yes!"

Lin Mu nodded without hesitation.

"Similar to hypnosis, in order to confuse the public, so that the target can only see what he wants to see for us, this should be Xu Qiucheng's method.

So we always thought that we were going down, and we couldn't realize that we were actually going up, because the moment we heard the whimper, we had already fallen into Xu Qiucheng's method!

Everyone in this manor has been affected by Xu Qiucheng's method, and Xu Qiucheng is the king of this manor! ”

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he looked at the hole in the center of the revolving staircase again, and there was a trace of excitement in his expression.

"Little Brother Jiang, we should be ecstatic because we are trapped on this spiral ladder because we have come to the right place.

The reason why this spiral ladder traps people to death is because Xu Qiucheng is hiding something that he doesn't want others to know, and those things are at the real end of this revolving ladder! ”
